A question for moms (answered Marias ?)

About a week ago brin started nodding his head like he is saying yes quite a bit. I didn't really think much of it but then my mother freaked me out. If you could please watch this video and let me know what you think...

Re: A question for moms (answered Marias ?)

  • I think he has figured out that "if I move my head like this, the world looks weird"

    If you were asking him a question and he was responding that way, then I would think he was responding with a head nod.

    I had a mom tell me that their daughter would hold her hand in front of her face and wave it back and forth really fast-and she would always do it. They took her to the doctor to see if something was wrong...doctor laughed and said "She just likes the way it looks"

  • I also agree with everyone that he probably thinks it is something funny.  Julia loves to be upside down.

     I understand where you are coming from being concerned, though.  Being a crazy first time mom, I would probably still mention it to the doctor.

  • What did your mom say that is freaking you out?

    I agree that he probably just thinks it is cool. My kid does this with her hand all the time -- I'm thinking for the same reason.

  • Kids do weird things. I wouldn't worry but it might be worth mentioning next time you see the dr

  • Eli did that to dance when he was little. at about 7 months old he would stand holding on to something and head bang so hard. he actually threw his neck out once and for a few days couldn't lift or turn his head at all. like when on his belly he couldn't lift his head up.

  • I would think that he was just gaining some head control and enjoying it.

    Maria - the video took a minute to load so I switched back to respond. All of a sudden I hear baby babbling! Look at the monitor and D is fast asleep... took a second to remember that I opened another tab.

    When he was doing it (not in video) she said "alycia what is wrong with him?" ugh!

    My instinct and background told me it was normal but I needed to hear it from someone else. She is a bit of a worrywort anyway but she means well. I will mention it at his 6 month appt anyway.

  • Ohhhh...I completely misread it. I thought you thought he was responding and thinking he was actually nodding yes. :/ Duh Cristin.

    KR has started to do this, he's doing this weird head bob thing when he gets really excited about playing catch.

    I wouldn't worry about it, but yeah, unless it's SUPER excessive then I would take him in. Otherwise I would just wait til my next appointment.

  • Kyle went through a phase where he used to do that ALL the time!  I honestly think there is no need to mention it to the dr, my opinion is he just learned he could move his head that way.
